Emergency Services

Coastguard and Ambulance services both had uneventful nights I am told, with lots of routine work

North Wales Fire and Rescue Service dealt with a vehicle fire at around 10.30pm yesterday. It was off the B5426 at New Brighton, near Minera, Wrexham.

One appliance from Wrexham attended and the crew used on hose rell to extinguish a blaze on a Ford Transit.

The fire was accidental and caused 100% damage to the engine compartment and 80% damage to the vehicle as a whole.

I’ll keep checking back with services throughout the day.
